Italy, Online Livestream

Language: Italian

In September 2026, IAIM Trainer Francesca Gheduzzi led this live online IAIM instructor training online for participants in Italy, taught in Italian. The course has now finished, but new dates are added regularly to our training calendar, and the training FAQs answer the most common questions about becoming an instructor.

Who can take part

You do not need a background in massage to join. Most participants come from health, social care, education or therapy roles, and many are parents who have experienced infant massage with their own children and now want to teach it to other families. Because the course is taught live online, you can take part from home, as long as you can join every session in real time with your camera switched on.

• Format: Live online (taught via live stream)
• Language: Italian
• IAIM Trainer: Francesca Gheduzzi
• Qualification: Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI), after completing certification

Your learning journey

The programme follows the internationally recognised IAIM curriculum: the massage strokes, the reasons behind them, and the communication skills you need to guide parents with confidence. You will explore how nurturing touch supports bonding and secure attachment, and look at the evidence behind the benefits of infant massage for babies and their families.

What happens next

Certification is completed in your own community: you teach a full series of classes to parents, document the experience and sit an open-book exam. When you pass, you become a Certified Infant Massage Instructor (CIMI) and join a worldwide network of instructors, supported locally by your national chapter in Italy.
